2007-02-06 Thread Brice Burgess

I've run into this before too... Calling a method (i.e. setConfig(), setVariable()) of the flash player (in Firefox it's an NPObject, in IE it's an ActiveX object) before the swf has loaded will throw an error. The ready event fires before your swf has loaded, which throws an error. The load
